This photograph and programme cover date back to the early days of aviation, specifically the 7th London Aerodrome Meeting held at Hendon from the 9th to the 13th of April 1914 (weather permitting). The cover features an intriguing image of French aviator Brindejonc de Moulinais preparing for an attempt to break the British altitude record aboard a Morane monoplane. The aviator, dressed in a leather helmet and goggles, is seen adjusting the controls with a determined look on his face as he prepares to take off with a lady passenger by his side. The text on the cover reads, "7th London Aviation Meeting, Hendon, 9-13 April 1914 (weather permitting)" and "Two pence admission, one penny for children." Brindejonc de Moulinais, a renowned figure in the world of aviation, was known for his daring feats and groundbreaking achievements. His attempt to surpass the British altitude record added to the excitement of the London Aerodrome Meeting, which attracted thousands of spectators eager to witness the thrill of early aviation. This programme cover serves as a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation and the early days of air travel. The Morane monoplane, with its sleek design and powerful engine, represented the cutting edge of technology at the time, and the determination of brave aviators like Brindejonc de Moulinais pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the skies. The programme cover also reflects the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation, as well as the sense of community and camaraderie among aviators and their supporters. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich history of aeronautical achievements and the enduring allure of flight.
